Ever ask, “Now what?” That sense of checking off a task on your to-do list only to scan the list and wonder, “Now what?” Those two words have become more apparent to me in the last year because my life has changed. I have more time on my hands because last June I left my career at Medtronic spanning 15 years.

So, now what? I tell ya, I am seizing opportunities that are leading me to what inspires me…traveling, painting, art, and sharing all of it. Ya’ll, it’s stuff that makes my soul happy.

As I sit here on the floor with my carry-on bag and the 12 articles of clothing I have chosen to pack (not including statement necklaces), I leave for Israel on Thursday to attend the TBEX International Conference in Jerusalem. (TBEX stands for Travel Blog Exchange.) And I am beyond thrilled to have been selected for a spot on a sponsored FAM (familiarization) tour of Tel Aviv and the western coast of Israel following the conference.

Of course, I’ll be painting my way through my travels and live-streaming on Periscope as well as the Delta Moxie Facebook Page so catch me there live or in a replay. You never know what will happen during a live-streaming broadcast, but that is what makes it so fun. Also, I’ll have my Insta360 Nano camera for the trip so you can experience the live video in a unique way.

If you have a prayer you’d like me to leave at The Western Wall in Jerusalem, leave it in the comments below or direct message me on twitter or facebook. I’ll write it on a piece of paper and be honored to leave it there for you.
